ferring the academic degree, whether it be conferred at the end 
of four years or at the end of six years, shall clearly indicate that

leges, so far as applicable, provided for by or under sections 1120, 
1 131, and 1 1 33 of the Education Law.

ifying certificates, to be entered in the official lists of approved 
secondary schools, and to share so far as qualified in grants of 
public moneys.

study and shall have apparatus worth at least $250 and a library 
worth at least $500. 

e Senior academic schools and high schools shall provide ade- 
quate laboratory facilities for individual experimentation. 

§ 29 English requirements. To • maintain approved standing 
and the right to share in grants from the academic fund all secondary 
schools in the University must require each class, throughout its 
course, to have in each school week at least three recitations in 
English, which shall include the study of the English language and 
literature and practice in English composition. 

§ 30 Academy changed to academic department. An academy 
adopted or leased as the academic department of a union school 
may retain its membership in the University if the board of edu- 
cation request it and notify the Regents in writing that they intend 
to maintain at least the standards required for admission. 

APPORTIONMENTS 

§ 31 General requirements. No city, union free school dis- 
trict or academy shall share in apportionments from the appropria- 
tions to cities, academies, academic departments and school libraries 
unless it has a permanent or provisional charter or has been ad- 
mitted to membership in the University, submits all required re- 
ports, makes proper provision for not less than 175 days of actual 
academic instruction, shows an aggregate academic attendance of 
not less than 1000 days for the school year, provides a school 
building approved by the President of the University, maintains 
a course of study of prescribed standard, makes general use of 
the Regents academic examinations which shall be mandatory only 
in the last two years of the school's course, and meets all other 
requirements. This rule shall not prohibit an apportionment for 
libraries on the basis of apportionments to common school dis- 
tricts. Success in passing the Regents examinations shall not be 
deemed necessary for the promotion or graduation of pupils from 
schools that prefer to determine such advancements by their own 
local standards ; and the principal of a school, for physical or 
mental reasons to be reported to the University, may without 
prejudice to the school's rights excuse a pupil from taking any 
particular Regents examination. 

§ 32 Quota and attendance money. No academic department 
shall be entitled to the quota of $100 or to any apportionment based 
upon the attendance of academic pupils for the year during which 



REGENTS RULES 35 

it is admitted unless its application for admission, showing that all 
the required conditions for admission have been met, has been filed 
prior to August ist of the year during which it was admitted, or 
unless it is a school established by the board of education of a city 
or district already maintaining an academic department which is a 
member of the University. This provision shall not be deemed to 
prevent such school from receiving tuition from the State for such 
nonresident pupils as may be instructed in the academic depart- 
ment during the year as provided by section 493 of the Education 
Law, unless it was admitted after January 15th, in which event 
it may recei\e tuition for only the last half of the year. Academic 
pupils counted for apportionment shall be those who have passed 
all preliminary or preacademic subjects or who hold credentials 
approved by the President of the University as the equivalent of 
the preliminary certificate and are enrolled in a secondary school 
of the University. 

§ 33 Consolidation. If two schools unite, the apportionment due 
both for the current year shall be paid to the one, except that 
only one quota of $100 shall be paid. Tf an academy becomes the 
academic department of a union school by lease or adoption, the 
apportionment due the academy for the current year shall be paid 
to the union school on the report of a University inspector that 
the work is satisfactorily continued, but only one quota of $100 
shall be paid to any one institution in the same year. 

§ 34 Tuition of nonresident pupils. No school shall be en- 
titled to compensation from public moneys for the tuition of non- 
resident academic pupils unless such pupils w^iile under instruction 

a Resided in a district of this State which did not then contract 
for the instruction of academic pupils under sections 580-86 of 
the Education Law, with another district maintaining an academic 
department approved under this act of a grade that the pupil is 
qualified to enter. 

b Resided in a district of this State Avhich did not then main- 
tain an academic department approved under this act of a grade 
that the pupil is qualified to enter. 

c Were not then members of a teachers training class or train- 
ing school, for whose tuition therein the State made other pro- 
vision. 

d Were in attendance at least eight weeks. 

e Were duly qualified for admission in the manner directed by 
the President of the University. 

g 35 For books, apparatus, and reproductions of standard 
works of art. To obtain an apportionment from the academic fund 



REGENTS RULES 37 

for buying needed and suitable books, apparatus, or reproductions 
of standard works of art, an institution must be registered as in 
good standing in the University for that year and must show that 
twice the amount of the appropriation asked for has been actually 
expended for approved books, apparatus, or reproductions of 
standard works of art. 

§ 36 Books, apparatus, and reproductions of standard works 
of art allowed. Standard books for reading and reference, cyclo- 
pedias when conditions warrant, reproductions of standard works 
of art, and apparatus, including machinery, approved by the Presi- 
dent of the University as essential for the proper teaching of 
academic and preacademic subjects of approved courses, and, for 
rural school districts, approved books, school apparatus, and repro- 
ductions of standard works of art, may be included; but not un- 
bound periodicals, professional or technical collections, series or 
sets of books by different authors, musical instruments, singing 
books or textbooks, furniture, fixtures, benches, chemicals or sup- 
plies consumed in using. No duplication will be made for gifts of 
books, apparatus, or reproductions of standard works of art, or for 
charts, maps, globes or other school apparatus sold to the schools 
through traveling agents or solicitors. 

§ 37 Protection against loss. Every allotment for books, appa- 
ratus, or reproductions of standard works of art shall be made upon 
condition that in case the institution is closed, falls below the stand- 
ard of admission, or for any cause is dropped from the roll of the 
University, then the purchases made with its apportionment and 
wi'ch the equal amount raised locally shall be returned to the Uni- 
versitv to be distributed to other similar institutions ; or, at the 
option of the institution, it may return instead of such purchases 
the total amount of money received from the University therefor. 

ALLOTMENT OF PUBLIC LIBRARY APPROPRIATIONS 

§ 38 Conditions. Circulating libraries and reference libraries, 
free to the public, maintaining required standards and registered 
by the University, may receive annually, so far as the fund permits, 
allotments equal to the money raised by them from other sources. 
But no allotment shall exceed $ioo or be made for less than $5. 
Allotments may be made to a branch library containing not less 
than 1000 volumes, after it has been inspected and registered. 

i; 39 Use of money. The state allotment and the local equiva- 
lent must be spent for approved books, serials and first binding, 
unless otherwise used by special written permission of the Presi- 



REGENTS RU1.es 39 

dent of the University. New libraries or those reorganizing and 
needing to use part of this money for cataloging, printing, or library 
supplies may do so when the written permission of the President 
of the University has been obtained in advance. A report of the 
expenditure of library money must be submitted in the prescribed 
form. So far as applicable, section 37 shall apply to libraries.

likewise report for and soon after the close of their preceding 
library year. Any University institution whose annual report for

ber shall not participate in any apportionments unless such neglect is 
duly excused for sufficient reason. Any institution failing for 
two consecutive years to report shall be deemed to have discon- 
tinued its educational operations, and after due notice its charter 
may be suspended as provided in section 65 of the Education Law. 

§ 54 Delinquent and dormant institutions. A new inspection

respect to conform to the provisions of law or of the Regents rules.

discontinuance of its educational operations and shall subject such 
institution to a suspension of its charter, as provided by law. 

§ 56 Preservation of records. When an educational corpora- 
tion is dissolved, its books, records, and papers, unless otherwise

dents, shall not be construed as determining its character if under 
its charter, by-laws and rules the official positions named are not 
in any way limited to any denomination. Any school of which the

CHAPTER VI 
THE COMPULSORY ATTENDANCE LAW 

^ 301 Physical and mental condition. If school authorities 
dift'er with the person in responsible parental relation as to whether 
a child between 8 and 16 years of age is in proper physical and 
mental condition to attend school, the opinion of a reputable physi- 
cian, appro\ed by the President of the University, shall be decisive. 

>: 302 Record of attendance. To be accepted as the accurate 
record which teachers are required by law to keep of the attendance 
of all children between 8 and 16 years of age, each absence must 
be accounted for in such record as either truancy, unlawful deten- 
tion, or excused absence. 

§ 303 Absence or tardiness. A child who is required by law 
to attend school should immediately after being absent or tardy 
bring to the teacher a written excuse from parent or guardian 
stating the reason for such absence or tardiness. More than two 
unexcused absences in four consecutive weeks should receive serious 
attention by school authorities and may warrant arrest and prosecu- 
tion of offender. 

§ 304 Justifiable absence. Temporary illness in the family, 
unusually bad roads or weather, and any unusual and reasonably 
justifying circumstances, beyond the control of the child or the 
person in responsible parental relation thereto, will excuse tempo- 
rary absence from school. Absences of not more than a half day 
in a week for instruction in music are excusable. 

§ 305 Equivalent instruction. The person having responsible 
parental relation must provide equivalent instruction for a child 
excluded from a public school because of failure to be vaccinated. 

>J 306 Law suspended. The operation of the compulsory attend- 
ance law may be suspended in a school district during the prev- 
alence there of a contagious disease. 

§ 307 Indigent children. The local poor authorities must 
furnish indigent children with suitable clothing, shoes, books, food 
and other necessaries to enable them to attend school as required 
by law. 

§ 308 Fines. Fines collected under section 625 of the Educa- 
tion Law shall be paid to the county treasurers of the respective 
counties. 

§ 309 Report. A report of the daily attendance at school of 
all children between 8 and 16 years of age shall be made to the 

121 



REGENTS RULES 



123 



Uiiiversity \vithin ten days after each calendar month by the school 
authorities of all common school districts in the State. The school 
authorities of union free school districts and cities shall also cause 
to be transmitted to the University within ten days after each 
calendar month report of all children between 7 and 16 years of age 
who had been illegally absent or tardy at any time during the last 
preceding calendar month. 

§ 310 Attendance certificate. The 130 days' attendance certifi- 
cate provided for in section 630 of the Education Law can be 
properly signed and issued only by the superintendent of schools in 
each city and village employing such superintendent; or, if there 
be no such officer, or if he be absent or his office vacant, by the 
alternate nearest in succession who is present and able to act. 
In all school districts not employing a superintendent of schools, 
the school record certificate shall be signed and issued only by the 
principal or i)rincii)al teacher of the school. 

§ 311 Certificate of indebtedness. If at any time the local 
school authorities shall not have on hand funds available for the 
prompt payment needed for the expense attending the commitment 
and cost of maintenance of any truant or truants, such authorities 
may borrow the money required, upon interest, and issue therefor 
a truancy certificate or certificates of indebtedness, which shall 
specify the particular use or uses for which the money was obtained. 
Upon the disbursement of such money, original and duplicate 
vouchers shall be taken and the original delivered to the holders 
of the respective certificates which specify the particular purposes 
for which the said moneys were to be used. Such certificates shall 
be transferable by indorsement and shall clothe their lawful holders, 
in succession, with the right and power to collect' payment thereon 
in due time from the respective city, village, district or county, 
ultimately chargeable, under the compulsory education law, with 
the payment of such expenses of commitment and cost of main- 
tenance. 



CHAPTER VII

by direction of the principal of the school, and approved by the 
local superintendent of schools when there is such an officer. All 
pupils who have not pursued the subject for an adequate length 
of time must be excluded from the examination, but this require- 
ment may be waived by the President of the University on applica- 
tion and certificate of the principal in the case of pupils of excep- 
tional maturity or training. 

Candidates who are not attending any University institution may 
be admitted to examinations in such an institution upon 20 days' 
notice and identification satisfactory to the principal.

and such assistants or deputies as either shall appoint, or otherwise 
as directed by the President of the University, and the person con- 
ducting the examination shall rigidly enforce the regulations in 
every particular. 

To provide for emergencies, at least two persons of different sex

REGENTS RULES 



129 



make certiticates similar to those required of principals and district 
superintendents of schools. 

b Who shall be present. Aside from candidates actually under 
examination, no person except the principal, district superintendent 
of schools, and duly appointed deputies, or officers of the school or 
of the University, may be present during any session of the 
examination. 

c Time requirements. No candidate shall, under any circum- 
stances, enter the examination more than 45 minutes late : and no 
candidate shall leave the room within 45 minutes after the distri- 
bution of question pai)ers unless accompanied by an examiner, who 
must stay with him till the end of the 45 minutes and prevent 
communication with other candidates. 

A clock should be in sight of the candidates. Lacking this, 
notice should be given before the close of the examination at 12.15 
and 4.15. 

Candidates taking more than one morning subject and desiring 
to take one or more afternoon subjects must hand in the last morn- 
ing paper before 2 p. m. The first paper of the afternoon must 
be handed in by 4.15 p. m. This rule must not be construed as 
giving more time to any subject than is indicated on the question 
paper in that subject. 

Candidates may take as many of the examinations scheduled for 
any session as they can w'rite within the time allowed, provided that 
the principal or district superintendent of schools in charge of the 
examination is satisfied that the candidate's physical strength is 
not overtaxed thereby. In case a candidate desires to take more 
than one subject in a single session the time may be extended from 
three hours to five hours provided the rules be strictly observed, 
but under no circumstances will permission be given to extend the 
time to more than five hours. 

d Paper to be furnished. Each school must supply candidates 
examined therein with blotter and letter size paper, that is 
7"/x X 9^',s inches ; for the examination in bookkeeping Avith prop- 
erly ruled bookkeeping paper, and in drawing with three sheets of 
drawing paper. Blank paper should be distributed before the time 
set for the examination.

supervised that the integrity of the examinations will be preserved. 
All helps of every kind must be removed from the reach or" sight 
of the candidates. Desks, and shelves under desks, must be cleared 
of all books, ])apers etc. Charts or maps on the walls and all 



REGENTS RULES 



131 



blackboard work must be completely covered or removed. Candi- 
dates shall not communicate in any way. They must rely solely 
on their own judgment as to the meaning of each question. 

/ Opening of on'elops and collection of ansivers. The prin- 
cipal or district superintendent of schools must retain the question 
papers securely in his own possession, and under no circumstances 
allow any question paper envelop to be opened till the exact time 
arrives for examination in that particular subject. 

Questions must be given out and answers collected punctually 
at the time fixed on program and question papers. Under no 
circumstances will answer papers be accepted unless the examina- 
tion is actually held during the same hours as in the other places of 
the State. 

g N^o explanation of questions. No one under any circumstances 
may explain questions or criticise or inspect the answer papers dur- 
ing the examination. The person in charge shall make no statement 
of any kind regarding the questions after they are opened, except 
in case of a typographic error, when he may direct, either orally or 
on the blackboard, any needed correction to be made, but shall 
include a full statement of any such correction in his report of the 
examination. 

§ 334 Reporting of examinations, a Certificates of those in 
charge of conducting examinations. Each principal, district super- 
intendent of schools or teacher assisting in conducting the examina- 
tion or marking the answer papers, must certify that to the best of 
his knowledge and belief the letter and spirit of all rules have been 
faithfully observed, and that there has been no indirection of any 
kind. Every paper should bear the name of the person who 
marked it. 

b Examination of papers. In all examinations held in academic 
schools, the principal or deputies must examine all papers, and no 
paper should under any circumstances be included in the certificate 
of claims unless in the principal's judgment it merits not less than 
the passing standing, has all incorrect and omitted answers dis- 
tinctly marked in red ink or red pencil, has the required declara- 
tion subscribed, and conforms to the rules in all other respects. 
Answer papers once handed in must in no case pass from the 
custody of the examiners until they have been finally marked. All 
papers in arithmetic, elementary English, geography, elementary 
United States history with civics and spelling claimed at 75 per 
cent or above, except those written by candidates for teachers 
certificates, should be retained by the principal or district super- 



REGENTS RULES I33 

intendent of schools for at least one year, subject to the call of 
the University. All other papers claimed at the minimum passing 
mark or above should be forwarded to the University together 
with the original and duplicate report which should contain in 
strictly alphabetic order the names of all pupils for whom papers 
are claimed. 

§ 335 Fraud in examinations, a Cases to be reported. Exam- 
iners shall report to the University all cases of apparent fraud in 
connection with examinations by or under its authority, and notify 
the candidates affected that their papers will not be accepted unless 
satisfactory explanations shall be made within a reasonable time. 

b Penalty for fraud in examinations. A candidate who with 
fraudulent intent endeavors to obtain any credential of the Uni- 
versity shall be debarred from entering any Regents examination 
till admitted by special permission from the University after writ- 
ten application, and any credentials already issued to him shall be 
subject to cancelation. This rule includes the use of unfair means 
to pass an examination, alteration of any Regents pass card or 
other credential, an intentional misrepresentation in connection with 
Regents examinations or credentials. In this connection also the 
attention of examiners and candidates is called to section 67 of 
the Education Lavv', which makes fraud in examinations a mis- 
demeanor. 

c Candidates not to zvithdraw from sight of examiner. If a 
candidate withdraws himself from the sight of the examiners his 
examination must be closed. This rule permits a candidate to with- 
draw from the room and return only in case he is accompanied by 
an examiner who can make the rec[uired affidavit that the candidate 
was at no time out of his sight. 

§ 336 Instructions to candidates, a General directions. Before 
the examination begins candidates should be advised : 

1 To heed strictly all directions on the question papers, to read 
the questions very carefully and to give only information asked for. 

2 To write in ink on both sides of the paper, to use only paper 
distributed by the examiners, and not to fold papers. 

3 Not to copy questions, but to write the number of each ques- 
tion in the left margin before the answer; to write answers in 
the order of questions and to leave a blank line after the answer 
to each question. 

4 To write at the top of each sheet or half sheet, on two separate

the questions each candidate should write at the top of the first 
page of his paper a statement of the number of weeks that he has 
regularly studied the subject in school and the number of recita- 
tions a week. Candidates should be notified of this requirement in

give the information asked for. Papers lacking this information 
will not be accepted.

In case a candidate has not been in attendance, that fact should 
be stated. 

c Declaration at end of paper. x\t the close of the examination 
in each subject, each. candidate must affix to his answer paper, in 
the line following the last answer, the following declaration, sub- 
scribe his name and then deliver his answer papers to the examiner . 

"I now, at the close of the examination in (name subject;, 
declare that prior to this examination I was familiar with the 
instructions to candidates, I had no knowledge of what questions 
were to be proposed, and have neither given nor received explana- 
tions or other aids in answering any of them." 

Every set of answers lacking this declaration, however satis- 
factory in other respects, will be rejected. 

Schools preferring may have printed copies of the prescribed 
declaration conspicuously posted in the examination room, requir- 
ing pupils to subscribe to it by writing merely the formula " I do 
so declare " followed by their signatures.

this Division shall be conducted by the chief of th? Educational 
Extension Division. 

§ 462 Function. This division is charged with the promotion 
and supervision of public libraries and of all educational work 
aided or encouraged by the State which is not within the field of 
established formal public education and which has not been as- 
signed to some other department or division of the University. 
Among its activities will be the educational extension work here- 
tofore done under the names of university extension, extension 
teaching and home education ; the lending of traveling libraries ; the 
lending of pictures, photographs, and lantern slides in cooperation 
with the Visual Instruction Division; the aid and encouraging 
of study clubs and special students, and all suitable efforts to bring 
within the reach of the people at large increased opportunities and 
facilities for education and awaken their desire therefor. The 
Division may issue to study clubs, under the seal of the University 
and the signatures of the President of the University and the Chief 
of the Division, such certificates of registry and in such grades as 
may be approved by the President of the University. Instruction 
as to conditions and methods of its work will be given by the chief 
of the division. 

§ 463 Minimum requirements for proper library standard. A 
free public library will be regarded by the Regents of the University
